Summary edit

Description

The Pond Lily Dam Removal project increases capacity of the local coastal riverine habitat to withstand storms by eliminating the hazard of Pond Lily Dam's likely failure and restores a federal public asset by promoting migratory fish passage of federally protected species. The project eliminates threat of a catastrophic dam breach during future flooding. In total, approximately 2.6 miles of the West River and 76 acres of Konold's Pond habitat are being re-opened to migratory fish, including herring, eel and shad.

In partnership with Save the Sound, a bi-state program of Connecticut Fund for the Environment, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is funding the effort to remove Pond Lily Dam along the West River on the New Haven-Woodbridge border in Connecticut.
